Actually, the main reason the deck gun is a bad weapon against other armed ships is that they are designed to float, whereas the sub is designed to sink. One hole in the wrong place and you're not a submarine anymore.

However, if you ever let your crew do the deck gun firing - they seem to simulate its inaccuracy rather well - only about 1 in 6 shells hit the target as desired. If you do the shooting - its stabilized and you can land every shot. So for balance sake I can understand the weak shells.

That's good to hear - it's the same way in SH3; which is why most players do the shooting themselves, even though it's totally unrealistic. I always let my crew do the shooting.
